Pyongyang, February 18 (KCNA) -- A ski camping for school youth and children of the DPRK is now under way at the Masikryong Ski Resort, built in a mountainous area as a splendid popular sports and tourist destination.

Among them are students of Kim Il Sung University and Pyongyang University of Architecture and pupils of Pyongyang Primary School No. 4.

They were warmly greeted at the resort by employees of Masikryong Hotel on February 13. They walked round rooms of the hotel, ski service facilities and lodging buildings, all of them in good harmony with the nature.

Deeply moved by supreme leader Kim Jong Un's loving care for younger generation, they sang the song "Ardent Desire" in chorus full of gratefulness to him at the hotel.

Choe Yong Chol, a student of Kim Il Sung University, told KCNA that he felt as if he was attending an international ski game.

Kim Ryong Hyok, a student of the university, said he would do his best in learning skiing.

Ri Mun, a student of Pyongyang University of Architecture, said:

This is the first time for me to ski, but I soon realized skiing is very enjoyable.

With a pride of being a student at the university with Marshal Kim Jong Un as its honorary president, I will devote all my wisdom and enthusiasm to ushering in a heyday of construction in the country.
